Disc Weights: 153, 166
Review: I got 2 Maximizers: 153 gm and 166 gm, both in DX-like
plastic. Both were misstamps and cost 4.95 each -- too good a bargain
to pass up. The 166, oddly enough, is more understable than the 153!
Go figure. The 166 has become my Primo BH roller. I LOVE it. I never
threw BH rollers successfully before I got this disc. I give it about
20-25 degrees anhyzer and rip it downward. It hits the ground with
zero flex-bounce, cuts a sweeping left roll, and finishes with a nice
fade roll to the right. I've rolled it uphill and downhill and on
slight, varied grades. It's nearly foolproof.
One complaint is that it has a tendency to fly left-to-right across
the fairway a lot until it hits the ground, so get it down fast
unless you have a WIDE fairway.
The 166 also is a sweet midrange turnover driver: release with about
10-15 degrees hyzer and zero mung angle, and you'll get a nice
climbing, sweeping turnover with a flat glide finish to the right.
The 153 Maximizer is awesome with a tailwind. Thrown with a slight
hyzer, low and straight, it will slowly climb and turn to the right,
then do a long, easy fade back to the line of the throw. I've gotten
my longest drive with this disc (of course, the tailwind helped).

Disc Weights: 160-175?
Review:
I bought a sack full of these for wedding gifts. Luckily I saved a
few for myself. They fly long and straight and glide like a SOB. They
would make excellent club discs or for everyday play. Unfortunately
the print area is limited, but hey're a great buy at 5 bucks each
when you buy 50.

Review: I'm an intermediate RHBH thrower and I recieved a
"Maximizer" as a raffle prize at a NANO disc golf benefit for the Red
Cross. It immediately felt like a Polaris LS in my hand and the first
throw with it glided, (glid?) forever. The second throw turned over
right and sailed away forever. A very fast disc with a ton of glide,
but not very unforgiving. Kinda like my Z-XS, if you nail it it looks
lovely but it can kill you if your not careful.
